King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

……

"Let us go if you dare! In this battle, I will let you see my strength!"

"Let you go, you're dreaming!"

"Haha, you don't let us go, and you don't kill us either. What's the point of torturing us like this?"

At the same time, on a mountain peak in Qingcheng, several people were tied up and lying on a tree.

At first, they would stare at Feng Yuxiu, but after a while, he felt a little tired and turned away.

At this moment, Scarface suddenly thought of something, that is, the rope he used was impossible to free himself from.

In the entire afternoon, Feng Yuxiu got some fish from somewhere, built a bonfire in front of everyone, and started grilling it.

Then he took out a handful of salt from his pocket and sprinkled it on it. Suddenly, a rich aroma spread.

These people were restrained and could only watch Feng Yuxiu show off his power in front of them.

Feng Yuxiu was not polite either. He ate the fish in big mouthfuls in front of the two of them.

"Mm, it's delicious! This fish tastes good. Do you want to eat it? Oh, forget it!"

Feng Yuxiu handed him the kebab with a lewd look on her face, but quickly took it back.

Let them smell it here, but don't let them taste it!
"Hate!"

"Hehehehe!"

After eating a fish, Feng Yuxiu looked at the people around him with some boredom. In his hand, he was still holding an Xiuchun sword, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

He held the sword and circled around the crowd, from east to west and from west to east.

Just like that, the sun set and the sky gradually darkened.

"You can do whatever you want with it, why bother?"

The scarred man said that this series of actions made him very uncomfortable.

"Die! You want my life?"

Feng Yuxiu seemed to be asking.

"Okay!" Regnar nodded.

He suddenly responded, raised his sword, and slashed down.

A sharp knife flashed in front of the scarred man, and in an instant, a sense of fear surged into his heart. At this moment, it seemed like a very long time had passed, and he suddenly recalled his life.

His heart skipped a beat, and he felt dizzy. An indescribable, instinctive fear of death filled his heart.

At this moment, although the scarred boy was afraid, he did not have any regrets when he thought that he was about to die.

However, at this moment, the person on the other end of the phone started crying.

The one who spoke was Scarface's henchman, a man who looked fifteen, but not even fourteen.

When the short Maza saw that his boss was about to be beheaded, he screamed in fear.

"What the hell! You kid, why are you still crying here? We are all men. In another 18 years, we will be heroes!"

The scarred young man was very angry.

"How do you know for sure that you have an afterlife?"

"why?"

"Why? Are you telling me if there is a real God?"

"Why not?"

"Why? What reincarnation? What reincarnation? In the words of my young master, you are a superstitious person! From a scientific point of view, no one can come back alive!"

Feng Yuxiu explained to them patiently, and throughout the whole process, Scarface's face was full of confusion.

"Hmph!" the man shouted coldly.

The scarred man snorted coldly, and after thinking carefully, it was really the case. Could it be that he had thought so before, just like when he was exterminated, he thought there was still a good official in the world. He was saved.

It was just like when he was a child, he was the one who saved the whole world and became the core of the whole world.

If there is no afterlife, he will be afraid of death instead.

He twisted his neck and spoke tremblingly:
"Your young master is really good at deceiving people. The emperor is like a god. If the emperor knew what he did, he would be executed, right? If such a thing were to reach the ears of His Majesty, I'm afraid the whole family would be executed!"

The scarred young man said this seriously. His original intention was to gain the upper hand in the verbal dispute, but he did not expect that the scarred young man would burst into laughter after hearing what he said.

"Hahahaha!"

"what happened?"

At this moment, the young man with the scar was very angry, very furious.

He held the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand again.

"Okay! Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I want to get rid of this scourge for all the people in the world!"

"Tell me! Is there anything you want to say?"

"The last word? Come on! You can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

So, this time, he did not hesitate any more, quickly drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword, and then swung it.

The scarred young man's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a long knife slashing down.

"You, you obeyed him, and he let us go! Why didn't you obey?"

"If you dare to beat me to death, even if I die, I will make you pay for it!"

The scarred man lay on the ground, trembling all over.

He glared at Feng Yuxiu.

He thought his head had hit the ground, but he didn't feel any pain.

He looked around suddenly and saw Feng Yuxiu untying the ropes that tied him up.

The scarred man was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Tan:

"You..." Chen Xiaobei was stunned.

Feng Yuxiu ignored him and cut the ropes of everyone one by one.

The scarred young man took out his weapon and pointed it at Feng Yuxiu, and several of his men did the same.

Feng Yuxiu: “…”

What's going on? I've already shown mercy, but they still dare to go against me?

Scar Youth:!!!
The scarred man and Feng Yuxiu stood in a row, their swords drawn.

"Okay! You're a man, a real man! I knew you wanted to fight me! I'll try my best. Even if I have to die, I'll die on the battlefield instead of kneeling down and begging for mercy!"

"A man fighting?"

Feng Yuxiu's hair stood up all over his body. Only they could say such words. Although the other side had more people, he was not afraid, because in his eyes, the other side was just a group of young boys.

"I refuse! I spare you! Do you understand?" "Why should you spare us?"

The scarred man still couldn't figure it out. He didn't think Feng Yuxiu was so kind at all!
But when he saw that Feng Yuxiu had put away his sword, he put it down as well.

"Tell me, why?"

The scarred young man asked again.

He turned around and looked at everyone with extremely serious eyes.

……

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Guo Zheng and Zhu Tan were chatting happily.

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, forming the current situation.

"Are you interested this time?"

County Magistrate Guo laughed, stood up, and smiled.

"Of course!" Regnar nodded.

"Okay! Let's go inside and talk!"

Walking towards the inner hall, Zhu Tan also had a new understanding of this newcomer. This person's official position was not high, but his house was well decorated, and the yard was full of precious flowers and plants. In addition, he had many wives, from the big room to the small room, to the third room, to the fourth room, and then to the fourth room.

What is this concept?
Jiang Chen looked back and saw an enchanting woman walking past him, half-covered and looking very coquettish.

After saying this, he looked at County Magistrate Guo again.

"Sir, if you still have something to do, I will leave first!"

When the woman saw Zhu Tan, her eyes lit up, she blinked at Qin Sheng and said:

"Who is he?"

Without waiting for the charming girl to answer, the prefect's wife slapped her in the face.

"Bitch, you are seducing my man!"

However, before he could stretch out his hand, it was blocked by the prefect.

"My little love, you are not allowed to be so rude!"

"You promised to treat me well for the rest of your life, but you not only took three or four wives, but you also flirted with other women outside!"

"So what? I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"

His wife flew into a rage and glared at him:
"So, my choice was wrong?"

The wife exclaimed.

Guo Zheng didn't care:

"Do you think that if it weren't for your father who helped me so much, I would marry you? Dream on! If you do this again, I will divorce you!"

The magistrate's words made the eldest wife furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Behind the county magistrate, the girls from the second, third and fourth rooms were secretly rejoicing.

Zhu Tan showed his talent and could hear the two girls' whispers clearly.

The second room said coquettishly: "Ah, this little bitch is really good at pretending."

The third room said: "After all, real men are all cold and icy!"

The fourth room added: "I think that soon this witch will take the position of the fifth room. When that happens, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

……

Zhu Tan was stunned. This scene was too familiar.

Isn’t this a small version of “The Legend of Zhen Huan”?
"Sister, don't be angry. If you get hurt because of me, I will feel bad!"

"If you can't forgive me, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, she winked at Zhu Tan, turned around and left.

County Magistrate Guo carefully sniffed the woman's fragrance on his palm, with a hint of regret on his face.

"What a shame, I didn't do well enough this time!"

County Magistrate Guo laughed heartily, feeling utterly humiliated, and said to Zhu Tan:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this is just a small token of my appreciation!"

……

"County Master, you really have three wives and four concubines! You are so blessed!"

"Master Chen, you are such a joke!"

Both of them spoke politely after they both shared a common goal.

He took the county magistrate and said, "Master Chen is really a joker. With my current strength, I am not even close to a prince like the King of Haiyang. The King of Haiyang has many concubines in his harem, including ten concubines, twelve of whom are his wives."

Zhu Tan was stunned. King Haiyang? This seemed to be the name of a prince.

Zhu Tan suddenly remembered the rule of the Ten Emperors. At that time, all the Ten Emperors were under the rule of Xiao He, and some were better than Xiao He.

Zhu Youjian's ancestors started from scratch and established the Ming Dynasty. After the founding of the country, emperors began to produce children on a large scale. Each emperor had five or six sons, each son had seven or eight children, and each child had seven or eight children. Every child could become an emperor, and the rest were called princes. This cycle continued, just like a family.

At the beginning, there was nothing wrong with this system, it was just used to stabilize the foundation of the dynasty, but over time, the number of the old Zhu family increased. By the Wanli period, the number of the Ming imperial family had exceeded 130,000, while the number of the old Zhu family exceeded 200,000. However, the Zhu royal family did nothing and was completely supported by the common people. They not only had to provide them with food, but also had to give them enough food.

The most basic problem is not that they don't work, but that they put the richest land in the world first. In this case, how could people not hold grudges? What's even more ridiculous is that in the court of the late Ming Dynasty, there were not only natural disasters, but also disasters caused by the princes. Henan, located in the heart of the Central Plains, was divided by seven princes.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in state affairs, so their actions had nothing to do with the princes. However, after Li Zicheng rebelled, they killed people wherever they went, and even civilians followed them in the rebellion. The fundamental reason was that in the eyes of the people, the princes were like termites that needed to be eradicated.

What's going on? They say they are workers and are used to bully people!
Although Zhu Youjian was the emperor, the other princes lived frugally. This was probably like the provincial governors in the Ming Dynasty. If they did not rebel, they could maintain this status forever.

This is a big problem. The silver is used to support these princes, and these princes only receive fifty taels of silver a year. But that is the royal family's silver, the emperor's silver.

The other princes were like some high-ranking officials. When the court was short of money, they always complained about their poverty. But when Li Zicheng entered the capital and plundered it, they were all rich.

Zhu Tan still remembered a sum of money that Li Zicheng got when he investigated a vassal state. It was equivalent to the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty for several days.

Zhu Tan heard it on TV when he was very young, so it may not be true.

No matter what, the ten princes are hateful!
Zhu Tan silently took note of this matter in his heart, which was to punish those princes.

"But your majesty is so frugal and diligent, and the princes are still doing this. Isn't this against your majesty's wishes?"

Zhu Tan continued.

The magistrate laughed:
"Emperor? What does the emperor's frugality have to do with us? What's more, he is just an emperor obsessed with cultivation. It's not that he doesn't like beautiful women, he just likes cultivation, so he is like this!"

After hearing this, Zhu Tan also smiled and looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

As he was talking, Zhu Tan was brought to a square table, and the three people behind him were respectfully arranged by County Magistrate Guo to sit beside him.

The prefect said he wanted to clean up and left.

The world is in chaos right now, who can care about whom?

The prefect couldn't help but sigh. (End of this chapter)
